Nelson Police overall were happy with crowd behaviour over New Year's evening in Nelson. ?
?
There were a handful of arrests, for offences such as disorderly behaviour, assault and obstruction, but considering the large crowds the behaviour?
was pretty good both in Nelson and Kaiteriteri.
?
As always, alcohol played a major part in all of the offending. ?Some people also had to be attended to by ambulance due to their level of intoxication.
